Nix raised an eyebrow and looked down the the boy who was sitting and then crossed her arms, "I'll Geuss, you think your a nerd. People don't like you, they pick on you because of your brains and powers relating to your brains" she said and the held out her hand ,"you don't want to rat people out as you don't want trouble but trouble still happens to you so you think no one cares, so you isolate yourself and don't give people the chance to care" she said and then tilted her head to one side ,"am I right?" she asked

She flicked her fingers and a small twist of dark purple shadows started to wrap themselves around her black fingerless gloves as she held her hand out and she flexed her fingers and pointed them to the boy and felt the warmth grow and the shadows grew darker and moved faster up her hand ,"you have a lot of negative energy" she said matter of factly and then turned her over hand to the other boy and did the same thing at the same time ,"you just have a normal level of negatives though, sorry I doubted you and get defensive ,my names nix" she said and then flicked her hand to a side and the smaller amount of shadows flew away from her hand and across the courtyard Into the first as was gone and nix offered the hand to the boy while keeping her second trained on the self proclaimed nerd

Aiden turned his head again to face the ground below him while Nick talked this time. “Fine. Just… Fine. I’ll go tell someone when something happens to me… if you want me too. I won’t sell anyone out though.” Index ignored the sarcasm that came from the girl; he did however pick up on what she said about ratting someone out and cleared his throat before talking, “I just don’t do it. I won’t turn someone in for what they do to me. If someone else is hurt, I’ll tell… or if they need help… I’ll help. I don’t fight for myself, but I won’t just stand there why other people are taking a beating. You don’t understand it… I stand there so someone else doesn’t have too.” He hadn’t spoken the words before, so it came out awkward and kind of fast, it was the truth though.

He closed his eyes for a moment, trying to get his thought patterns straighten out before he spoke again. “It’s easier just to surround myself with my gadgets… really… I mean I know that they care… And I know Professor Xavier cares, and I guess I can figure out that you care by you being here. It’s just easier to talk to something, rather than someone. You wouldn’t understand.” He let out a small sigh, looked up a Nick for a moment, and then to Nix for another before staring back at his shoes.

“I don’t consider myself anything, I was just using what the common perception of people like me are stereotyped as. I know I’m nerdy, and geeky. I’m fine with that. People may not like me; I’m fine with that too.” Lie. “They don’t insult my powers though. I’m just an easy target. I could attack back, but it’s just a waste. The people here aren’t really dangerous… It doesn’t matter what they do to me, I’m not going to hurt someone that isn’t really a threat.” He let out another sigh, wishing he could explain it to them the way he believed, it was just too hard to formulate in words.

The comment about his negative energy caused him to look over and watch whatever it was that Nix was doing. “What… are you doing?” was all he could think of saying before adding, “And not that it really matters, but I’m Index.”

Nix flicked her hand away from the boys face and offered it to him ,"nix, or shadow ,ether works" she said and then tilted her head to one side, "and I get where your coming from ,I've been bullied by other girls all my life because im weird but I like it, I have messy hair that cant be tamed and I can control dark shadows" she said and then smiled and rolled her eyes ,"my best and only freind for the last 3 years is a black wildcat who followed me home and he's the only person I have talk to" she said and then took her hand back and ran it through her hair and paused when she found a twig. She pulled it out and flicked it into the the bushes beside them and then looked down at index ,"I take it your power is electrically based or intellectually based then, it's why you feel better alone or with machines rather than humans" she said and then nodded to the other boy, nick, "and yours if I may ask? Or is that rude of me?" she asked with a small smiled at the other boy

Yes he finally said that he was going to talk to someone next time it happened "kay thats all i ask"

When nix did her hole niegive energy thing nick looked at it a little odd, well he could of told him that but it kinda made him feel better that he only had a normal about of negative energy and then she explained what her power was "O thats cool figured it had to do something with shadows or something being what you did there" the fact that the girl was proving that people did care it did bug him that Nix had been picked on as well man did that make him feel bad he wished there was something that he could do but it wasn't like he chould say that related to them at all he was always the bully never the bullyed but he didn't feel that way anymore he no tryed to stop it.

"Well i can control gravity to put it in the most simple isn't terms in the world and I'm Nick nice to meet you Nix, and Nix how can you like that feeling of being picked on thats not right look guys you might both be younger then me but really you guys shouldn't be being picked on by others and if you ever feel picked on come find me in my room or at the cort hear i spend a lot a time there or in the danger room, I'm hear to talk and I promise i won't ask who it is"

[nixnight]

Nix rolled her eyes and turned to face the older boy ,"they pick on me, I blast them with shadows and they back off for a day, and it goes round until they rat on me when I tend to disappear into the forest for a week, it works and I'm happy with it, they feel they have to pick on me because I'm too happy being weird, if they feel bad enough that they haveto make other feel bad to make them feel good then their lives must really suck" she said in a long breath and sniggered ,"they can't do anything bad to me, I just like messing with them" she said honestly and then looked down at the bench and shrugged her sholders and then dropped down onto the bench beside index ,"but I agree with nick here when it comes to you" she said to index beside her.

She leaned back on the bench and looked around herself ,there was no one else around over even outside today ,it was a weekend but normally there were more people about than just three. She began to wonder where everyone was when she remembered ,some people had families

Index listened to her talk about her power, and her guess on his, he gave a small smirk, “I’m a technopath. I deal with gadgets, I get them. I understand them. They understand me. I guess you wouldn’t really understand unless you were connected to them like I was. A phone is just a phone to you but I give it a personality, I understand it completely and it tells me how it works. I can’t explain it better than that.” He spoke the words he told Nick earlier, as if he was used to explaining what it was he actually did. “I’m alone because it’s easier that way… besides it gives me time to work on other things.” He shifted his body weight awkwardly. “The whole gravity thing is pretty cool though…” he muttered quietly.

Then he noticed the topic came back to him being picked on and he sighed. “Listen guys, I appreciate it… really I do… Can we just… not talk about it anymore? I promised I’d talk to you. I will. I just don’t want to talk about it now.” He looked towards the ground for a second, using his peripheral vision to see that Nix sat down beside him. He pulled his laptop onto his lap and began to flash through programs. Usually he would shut the others out, but he was only half using his powers now, if they spoke he would hear it.

[nixnight]

Nix rolled her eyes at the other boy and then looked up at nick ,"he seems to be happy sticking himself in situations he doesnt like, he's the one getting into the issues" she said and then looked over at the other boy who had now picked up his laptop and was already typing away at it. Nix sighed and then nodded to him again ,"you can not help those who will not help themselves ,as a old and dear freind of mine would have said" she said to him and then looked around ,"don't you find it a little bit odd that these isn't any body else around today, I mean sure it is a weekend but normally it's not this quiet around the school during this time of the day" she said and then lifted her hand and ran it brought her messy red hair again and flicked her fingers ,a dark purple line spread quickly through her hair and then over her head so lines broke down across all her hair and then she paused and shook her head ,"don't like it" she said quietly to herself and flicked her hand to the side and the dark colours were gone from her hair in seconds and she looked up at the older boy

[Nickolass Elensar]

"fine you really feel that way i just really don't understand why neather of you are willling to tell on them cause i garinte with some of the school rules like if your roommate has't to sleep in the same room with a xmen of the same gender if they are found bullying or something trust me I will make sure that roommate never wants to pick on there roomates again."

Nick never was one to like to be alone thats why he had pets like Zoya and snaper because he never felt alone with Zoya with him Zoya was his best friend even if she was a dog so index saying he liked to be alone buged him that wasn't right someone shouldn't want to be alone and only want to talk to computers they didn't humman contacted or living contacted a computer can't nuzzle you or smile at you or pertend to lieson.

He sighed and sat on the ground when the other two where sitting on the bench he sliped off his sandels always finding his bare feet more comterbule then haveing shoes on and smiled at the two well then "Index what do you want to talk about then, if you don't want to talk about that"

[aidenglutz]

“I never said I didn’t like it. I mean I don’t... But I never said I didn’t. I don’t mind it… There is a difference. I don’t like being used as a punching bag, I don’t like it, but I deal with it… I’ve said before that if they use me, they can’t use someone else. It’s not like I throw myself at them, they look for me.” He rolled his eyes. His fingers never once touching the keyboard, he never had too, his power did all the work for him. “I never wanted anyone to help in the first place, you two came over, I didn’t invite you to sit down for tea. You pushed the issue… I’m just saying.” He glanced up at Nix, not meaning to sound as venomous as he did, he just couldn’t help it.

He glanced up a Nick, “You don’t have to understand it, I do. I’ll deal with everything in my own way, I always have. What they do doesn’t matter. Besides… Just think of it as training. They more they hit me the more resistance towards pain I get… And I don’t have roommates yet.”

He looked around the courtyard quietly as Nix brought up the lack of people, it bothered him too but instead of admitting it he said, “Maybe everyone else is studying. Or playing with their powers. Who cares? It’s nice and quiet out here for a change.” He let out a small sigh. Then he was asked what he wanted to talk about. He sent Nick a small shrug of his shoulders, “Think of something.”

[nixnight]

Nix leaned forwards and rested her arms on her knees and muttered to herself ,"boys". She turned round and unzipped her back pack again and took out her pencil and put it in her mouth while she rummaged round the bag for her notepad. She caught her finger on one of the steel rings and hissed a slight pain for a moment and then rolled her eyes and drew it out from deep within the bag. She took the pencil from her mouth and studied her bleeding finger for a moment and then opened the back page of the book, there were pages and pages of solid writing, no gaps in between lines or doodles taking up room, just pages of words.

Nix flicked through to the middle of the book read the last line of her latest bit of work and then nodded to herself and began to write again ,"talk away" she said to the others as she began twisted the perfect life away from another made up person in a new way and then thought of how all her stories seemed to have a link, girls being victimised only to become stronger and take over where ever they were set and boys being powerful and brought down by a girl ,"I'm not sexist at all" she mumbled in barely more than a whisper and sniggered

[Nickolass Elensar]

Nick smirked when he said that he didn’t ask them to help “Sorry pal you got help we are going to enjoy and tea and cake hear” trying to make light of the topic, The kid may of not wanted help or someone to talk to but he was it didn’t matter who he was.

Nick raised a brow when he said to think of it as training “Training…no training in a controlled interment, and you are no use in a fight if your just letting the other person beat the snot out of you they beat you to feel more powerful to feel they have some control no different then the guys out in the real world who are trying to gain power by undermining and trying to make others feel week and defenseless”

Nix it looked like at lost interested in what the guys where talking about going back to her writing, Nick saw the blood on her finger but didn’t think anything of if it hurt to bad she would of said something Nick had seen lots of blood before so a small cut like that didn’t mean much to him.

When Index asked for him to think of something Nick didn’t know what to say the topic needed to be changed somehow so he looked around they had already said it was nice weather then he looked back and Nix “K so what are you two doing Index on your computer and Nix with your wrighting there”

[nixnight]

Nix almost laughed at nicks attempt to try and get them all talking and so lifted her head grinning ,"my latest story ,I write when I'm bored, but I get bored it plots and characters quickly so I have another 23 diffrent stories in here, and a few poems and bits of prose too" she said with a tilted head and then laughed ,"at the moment, I just having to two heros fight it out the main character whom is a girl ,and shes getting annoyed with them for thinking she needs saving and is about to walk off and leave them to fight it out" she said and then smirked and put her pencil down and then paused. She slid the pencil into the rings of her note pads spine and then closed it and turned back to her back pack and unzipped it just enough to slid her note pad in and then she zipped it up again ,"you got nothing to do when your bored then, no writing or computer stuff, or are you a sports boy?" she asked nick and then glanced at index who seemed focused totally on his computer so she disnt expect him to be one of the boys who relaxed by playing "a little ball".
